Story behind the song
Truck Driving
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Engines growlin low before the break of day
Packed another bag, Im two towns away
Steel horse is waitin, tail lights glowin red
A thousand miles behind and a million up ahead
[Pre-Chorus]
Rain on the window, boots on the floor
One more promise, then Im out the door
[Chorus]
Rollin' down the highway, got the pedal to the floor
Lonely miles and white lines, always chasing more
Dreamin' of my baby waitin' back at home
I got diesel in my veins, but my heart's never alone
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, keep on rollin'
Oh-oh, sunrise callin'
[Verse 2]
Dust on the dashboard, coffee in my hand
Radio's playin' that same old band
State lines passin', wind cuts clean
Every sunset tells me where Ive been
[Pre-Chorus]
Midnight headlights shining just for me
This worn-out wheel, my company
[Chorus]
Rollin' down the highway, got the pedal to the floor
Lonely miles and white lines, always chasing more
Dreamin' of my baby waitin' back at home
I got diesel in my veins, but my heart's never alone
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, keep on rollin'
Oh-oh, sunrise callin'
[Bridge]
Silver moon rising over miles of wire
Chasing the ribbon of that old Empire
Thoughts of home in the rearview shine
Freedom and longing both riding the line
[Chorus]
Rollin' down the highway, got the pedal to the floor
Lonely miles and white lines, always chasing more
Dreamin' of my baby waitin' back at home
I got diesel in my veins, but my heart's never alone
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, keep on rollin'
Oh-oh, sunrise callin'
